Polling stations across Quebec are now closed, capping off a five-week election campaign.

François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec has maintained a solid lead in opinion polling throughout the campaign, with the latest Leger survey placing the party more than 20 percentage points ahead of its closest rival.

The Quebec Liberals, Québec solidaire, the Parti Québécois and the Conservative Party of Quebec have all been polling in the teens.

Legault voted in advance polls last week, while the remaining party leaders cast ballots today.
